It's quite sad what's happening in America. But all of us stood in horror as the UK voted for Brexit. Possibly the most purely xenophobic and reactionary public policy catastrophe made by any European country since the end of WWII. It's also true that as whimsically blundering and stupid as the current US government may be, they haven't gotten around yet to the kind of micro-managerial protectionist rackets that every local council in other Anglophone countries use daily to harass and fine businesses.
So as someone who selects and manages tech stacks for companies in America, would I recommend right now transitioning to a cloud outside the US? As a political statement, maybe, (though it would be pretty pointless). I'd do it if I thought it would be safer in the long term, but there are very few countries I would choose to entrust with my customers' operations or their users' data, anymore than I trust the US, and the UK is certainly not one of them. If I'm looking for true privacy, I'd probably pay the extra and go with dedicated servers in Norway or Switzerland.
